This former A+ list mostly movie actor turned trouble getting work turned A- list mostly television actor who also does a ton of commercials is filming a new show overseas.

He hates it. While the rest of the cast mingles with visitors to the set, our actor hops into a SUV he bought with his own funds and has someone drive him to his trailer fifteen minutes away where he stays until he is needed for the next shot even if he only has time to be in his trailer for five minutes before heading back.

Rob Lowe’s ITV Drama ‘Wild Bill’ Is Coming in 2019 & It Sounds Like It’s Going To Be Amazing

When you think of East Lincolnshire, Hollywood superstar Rob Lowe probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. However, the brand new ITV drama Wild Bill stars Rob Lowe as lead character, Bill Hixon — an American police officer who has relocated to the region of the UK. And this six-part crime series sounds like it’s going to provide some riveting viewing.

In addition to Lowe, the series will also star former Coronation Street actress Angela Griffin, who plays local journalist Lisa Cranston, and Line Of Duty actor, Tony Pitts, who portrays Crime Commissioner Keith Metcalfe, reports the Radio Times. An official ITV synopsis for the upcoming drama series was recently released. It reads:

“When high-flying U.S. police chief Bill Hixon lands in Boston, Lincolnshire, with his 14-year-old daughter Kelsey in tow, he’s hoping they can flee their painful recent past. But this unfamiliar, unimpressed community will force Bill to question everything about himself and leave him asking whether it’s Boston that needs Bill, or Bill that needs Boston?”

The six episode ITV show has been created by The Hunted’s David Griffiths, Kyle Killen, Dudi Appleton and Silent Witness’ Jim Keeble. According to the Radio Times, show writers Jim Keeble and Dudi Appleton recently commented on the series. They said: “Wild Bill gives us a chance to write about modern Britain and modern crime through unique eyes. We wrote this for Rob Lowe, for his smart-talking, anarchic, soulful voice. Displacing Rob in Brexit Britain and specifically in Boston, Lincolnshire allows us to tell stories that are leftfield and unexpected. We wanted to write something that couldn’t take place anywhere else, or at any other time.” – Source
